Win at what? Where's your input besides trolling every model run?

Up to 2.5" now...the top layer has the look of puff balls...everything is covered with a nice covering of snow...it's back to Winter in this yo-yo season.  Should be a nice scenery when daylight emerg

12z Canadian... another huge change from previous runs.  Models are really struggling with this.

Having this happen to you repeatedly is what breeds pessimism. I find it hard to get hyped for anything anymore, yet I got hyped for this storm(the only one I had been this winter) and paid for it. Oh well.

I don’t spend much time looking at models till around 2 days before something that looks like it could get big. I probably should more so I’ld learn more how weather systems work and evolve, but often it’s just a waste of time with all of the flip flopping and uncertainty, especially this winter!

I always find it strange when people act like they are mad at other members or those member's respective cities when a storm doesn't track their way. Not one of us have any control where a storm tracks or how strong or weak it will be.

It’s quite funny but this thing has more twist and turns coming

DMX just issued a winter storm watch for areas east of I-35 in Iowa. The watch includes DSM. It says 5-8 inches of snow is possible. 

 

The NWS must be seeing something that the models don't show. 

 

That is an odd watch.  When the models were super bullish for Iowa, DMX was pretty dismissive of the storm.  Now that models have totally abandoned central Iowa, DMX issues a watch?  Hmm.

We had a High of 56*. Light Rain and wind.

 

Same mañana but only a 30% chance of rain.

 

I'm enjoying it while I can. I'm concerned the tap will shut off sometime in Spring.

The southeast trend is, apparently, not going to stop.  What a cluster****.

 

The Euro is about to wave bye-bye to Iowa.  Here's the 18z run.

my .02 on the Euro is that it has lately devolved into the bottom feeder of the main 4. It has flipped big time in 48 hrs with the GFS - by far - the most consistent. Any move by the GFS has been followed later by the Euro, but several runs later. GFS is the way to go.

      I know, I was making a separate point. I will edit that. Sounds like a last second strike call-off. Bad communication I guess.

      Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024

      All this post tells me is that you have a lot of research to do on this topic. A lot. I like what Coleman Hughes says about color blindness, as hawks pointed out, but as I looked around his X profile and watched his interviews about Israel, he has glaring holes in his understanding. He does not have any knowledge of the historical motives from both sides, the political situations, the cynical bargaining, the ultimate goal of the far-right in Israel, the tactics used by the IDF, the cover the U.S. provides Israel in the UN, the lack of accountability the IDF has, the treatment of Arab Israelis, the treatment of Gazans, the rights taken away, the bulldozed cemeteries, the mass graves, the torture of innocent people, the shooting/bombing of their own hostages, the outright lies taken as truth, the international laws broken, the ultra nationalist groups in the IDF and their horrific actions, the intentional killing of journalists, the bastardization of the term "Anti-Semitic", the labeling of Jews who object to Israel's actions as "Self-hating", the labeling of Pro-Palestinian protestors as "Pro-Hamas"... none of it. He does not know what he is talking about. He only thinks he does. That makes me not respect him. He is a wannabe Hitchens or Rushdie minus all the context and raw knowledge. It's a genocide. People can deny it, but they are either ignorant or don't care.

      ATC is not the same as corporate airlines. This is a government job just like ours in the US. They get pensions, have good social programs (like all the French), lots of time off (like all French), and are paid fairly well (100k euros). They ended up getting what they wanted I guess cause it got called off after the threat.
